History gone woke for good and I’m tired of pretending this is ok. We need our foundation myths. How else are we supposed to keep our nation states running if we don’t have a shared origin just because it’s “factually false”? What does that even mean? How else will be keep capitalism alive if we say “barter doesn’t work” and “tragedy of commons”? I know barter never really existed and there are many moneyless economic systems and that the tragedy of commons is empirically disproven but don’t let wokeness win! Facts don’t care about your feelings and nation states and capitalism is fact!
I know barter never really existed
Not this myth again. Barter exists and was widespread. It exists alongside exchange of units of value in societies where the money supply in insufficient (often pre-modern) or when the currency is unreliable or volatile (often modern).
